Tonneau cover idea

Bed cover idea?

Attach some 2"-3" wide L brackets at 4 evenly spaced points along each inside bed rail, recessed the depth of coroplast. Then just attach the coroplast to the brackets. Simple yet effective. You can still access your tailgate and I'm sure someone creative enough could find a way to make this type of cover hinged to access the bed if needed. Maybe 2 layers of Coroplast if it is a bit soft? Maybe about $20 and an hour? How much is a sheet of Coroplast anyhow?

Just another random thought. I would love to do an aerocap, but I probably don't have the skills yet. It would have to help some, right?
